The Boron '97 meeting was a great success in summarising all recent
developments in basic and applied research on boron's function,
especially in plants. New techniques have since been developed and
new insight has been gained into the role of boron in plant and
animal metabolism. Nevertheless, there were still lots of open
questions. The aim of the present workshop held in Bonn as a
satellite meeting to the International Plant Nutrition Colloquium
was thus to gather all actual information which has been gained
since the Boron '97 meeting and to compile knowledge, both from
animal and plant sciences. Furthermore, applied aspects had to be
addressed too, as there is an increasing awareness of boron
deficiencies even in crops such as wheat, which have formerly not
been considered as responsive to boron application. Genetic
differences in boron demand and efficiency within one species are a
further important topic which has gained importance since the 1997
meeting. More in-depth knowledge on the mechanisms of boron
efficiency are required as an increased efficiency will be one
major possibility to maintain and improve crop yields for
resource-poor farmers. Nevertheless, it has also clearly been shown
that an adequate supply of boron is needed to obtain high yields of
crops with a high quality, and that a sustainable agriculture has
to provide an adequate boron supply to compensate for inevitable
losses through leaching (especially in the humid tropics and
temperate regions) and for the boron removal by the crop.
